So I started therapy today. I have to say I was kind of nervous going into it. I went dressed as a guy. It was basically an hour of me telling her about my life. She asked a few questions, mostly to clarify points. I gave her a journal about my TG musings I have been keeping so that she can get some insight into how I am thinking more quickly. I have another appointment made for next Wednesday.
In all, she presented as professional, caring and interested in helping me. She asked what I wanted out of our sessions, I told her that I wanted to find a way to balance my being TG with my wife and marriage, and with society at large. Also, I want to try to find out just how deep the rabbit hole is and figure out ways to explore my feminine side in a constructive manner. She said she thought those were good goals. I emphasized that all of this would have to be done within the framework of my marriage, in other words I don't want to leave my wife.
In all, though there were no real answers, I am happy that I went. I know this week was just a start and that the kid gloves will likely come off soon, but I need to come to grips with myself.
